Is it normal to feel completely sober when you are actually extremely drunk?

Question

Whenever I get really drunk I always feel like I am sober. Even though I have had 5 or 6 drinks in under an hour. I act like a drunk person, but my head keeps telling me I am sober and just having fun. Does anyone else get that way?

Answer 1

During intoxication, ones mind will not always think clearly; especially in this case. My take on it is to not think what is wrong is right. Always drink responsibly.  

Answer 2

Yes, and that's how drunk people get pulled over for DUI or worse yet, get into an accident.

Answer 3

Yes!

I once thought I was on a long journey to conquer the world.

Quite a ride it was!

When I woke up I found out that I had been in a coma for a week and that my premed frat bothers had me hooked up to an IV of straight Vodka.

No lie! Felt normal as the day I was born.

Then there was that time when I was with a bunch of drunk sailors drivign around and we got stopped by the DoD base police. They let me drive back because I was "the most sober". I was frying on acid. Colors, trails, yeah! And it was all so normal.

Answer 4

Yup. My rule is 2 drinks then water the rest of the night if I'm driving. Booze will sneak up on you.

2 drinks for me and I'm @ 6'4" 260 pounds. Smaller folks might want to make it 1 and done.  

Answer 5

No, Thats Exactly How I Felt And Acted When I Realized  I Was A Alcoholic At 22.

Answer 6

Drunks often experience periods of lucidity after a long period of drinking.  Great insights can be had during those times.
